> Here, the front-end would like to send a JSON encoded API request to your server in order to upload a photo to the site. It is on you to create an endpoint that can handle this upload, then find a way to view all the photos that have been uploaded to the site in an efficient manner. They got hazed for that? It would probably take me an hour to figure out how to do that with [jqWidgets](https://www.jqwidgets.com/), putting images into a sortable, filterable, paginated grid as the most efficient way of handling viewing all photos. OK, maybe more than an hour because my fu with jqwidgets is still at the neophyte level, and everything seems to kick and scream, but once I get stuff working with these controls, they are awesome.

They didn't even ask for that. They asked only for images, so a simple page could do the job just fine. This is not the revolting part, this is:
